  The SAP error message FI_E128 indicates that there is an issue with the update profile for the Funds Management (FM) module. Specifically, it suggests that the update profile is either inactive or does not exist in the system. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with financial transactions that involve funds management.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Update Profile: The update profile that is supposed to be used for the transaction is not active. This can happen if the profile was deactivated or if it was never activated in the first place.
  Non-existent Update Profile: The system is trying to reference an update profile that has not been created or has been deleted.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings related to Funds Management, leading to the system not being able to find the appropriate update profile.
